Awesome article from Thomas Sowell. My favorite line: "liberals take positions that make them look good and feel good — and show very little interest in the actual consequences for others, even when liberal policies are leaving havoc in their wake."

"Common sense." I have learned to be suspicious of that phrase. It pretty much always means "We will use the force of the state to reduce your liberty so you conform to our vision of how you must live your life."

Sounds like justification for outlawing guns, not expanding gun use. Maybe we should hold all gun owners responsible for the acts that are committed with their guns, regardless of circumstances. Or maybe gun companies. I'd expect that would result in guns that can only be fired by their owners.

Nit, you sound like justification for the forced sterilization of idiots. Maybe we should hold all parents responsible for the acts committed by their children, reguardless of circumstances. Or maybe grand parents. I'd expect that would result in people being ultra carefull not to breed more idiots.
